Gov. Gary Herbert has thrown his support behind clean-vehicle and clean-fuel standards that are expected to have a bigger impact in Utah than anywhere else in the nation.

Herbert praised the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed "Tier 3" standards for promising to "make a meaningful difference" for health and the environment, while having only modest cost impacts to consumers. His office sent a letter of support to the EPA last week.
